Kylian Mbappé in training as if nothing had happened
If these elements are potentially positive for the defense of Kylian Mbappé, who is still not named in this case by the Swedish justice system, nothing indicates at this stage that there has not been one or other acts or facts falling under the law during the player’s two Swedish evenings, the first of which also took place partly at the V club on October 9.
As early as October 14, after the first information on the opening of a rape investigation relayed by the French press, Kylian Mbappé denounced a « fake news » on social networks, making a link with the hearing concerning his financial dispute with PSG which was held on Tuesday in Paris: “it becomes so predictable, hearing watch as if by chance”.
Kylian Mbappé “ is not aware of the extent of the media outpouring, but is completely calm and does not understand what could be blamed on him”his lawyer Me Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard subsequently assured AFP. “He is stunned to hear that it could concern him. He preferred to go and train and asked my office not to leave things as they are, because it is impossible to allow yourself to be slandered and defamed in that way. This is why we are going to file a complaint for slanderous denunciation. »
In the middle of this media storm, the captain of the France team, not summoned – at his request – with the Blues for the recent international window in order to recover from his muscular discomfort in his left thigh, acts as if nothing was happening. was and continues his individual training program at Real Madrid.
The European champion club, which does not wish to communicate officially on this affair, does not seem to be overly concerned about the potential consequences of these accusations, described as “biggest fake in the history of sport” by an internal source at the club contacted by AFP.
